X FACTOR- this week the theme is 'Love and heartbreak' <yawn>

[Raahh]

Really? They can't come up with anything better?

Here is what the remaining acts are singing-

The Boys
Ché Chesterman: Yesterday - The Beatles
Mason Noise: Jealous - Nick Jonas

The Girls
Lauren Murray: We Belong Together - Mariah Carey
Louisa Johnson: Let It Go - James Bay

The Overs
Anton Stephans: One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men

The Groups
Reggie 'N' Bollie: Dangerous Love / Shut Up And Dance - Fuse ODG / Walk The Moon
4th Impact: Ain't No Other Man - Christina Aguilera

I can't help feeling the 4 Binbags have been given something they know inside out.

No less than 2 Mariah tracks- I think Anton might be in trouble - hear the comments already 'that was a very obvious choice there, Simon' etc. Simon is down to one act and pissed off.

Surprised by the James Bay choice, it's a nice song, but not that well known.

And only the other week, I said SpunkyMason looked liked Nick Jonas- spooky.

DD2 and are are both ill- but we will soldier on. I will be back with lemsip and cake later.

There could be a Geraldine choking moment if they aren't careful

Oh this is truly dire tonight

Thanks red lion mmm that's lovely.

Really like this song, looks like Ceelo's outfit exploded on the stage!

Did you see Rita on Chatty Man last night v funny

I thought it was I'm a Celeb for a no, looked like a swarm of cockroaches!

Haha yes! It does look like ceelo's outfit exploded on stage.

Were they the backing dancers BitOfFun?

While you're here BitOfFun have you got any sleb gossip this week? Or failing that I'd be happy with a sleb penis-slip-out photo?
TIA

Bonita it did! Exploded Ceelo- there's an image

Mo not no!

Yes Bonita to Cee-Lo's outfit!

The show has lost its way im afraid.
Reggie and Bollie are fun, louisa is talented and Che's ok, but it feels flat, uninspiring. The judges look bored and ill in Cheryls case. .
I hanker for the old days..

It's all in your username 80s

Really hoping Cheryl is alright

I'm uncomfortable with the connotations of Reggie-bola too, to be honest, although I think it's more a nod to a) noxious tunes and b) the obvious racialisation of how they are being marketed. I think we should drop it as a nickname.

I'm flagging....get on with it!

It's going to be bye-bye Anton, though I think.

Theredlion , all I've got is a Prince Harry pic- any good?

Of course BitOf!

I agree, The80s, this year is really blah, feels like no one can be arsed. This could be the last year I watch it. Even this thread can't truly save it!

Bof- when it was suggested, it was really just a contraction of their names. Certainly no other reason. Like when 4th Impact sounded like 4 Binbags.

Lauren's in - good.

They'd have announced anton first if he was safe...

yy 80s I agree with all of that plus Ollie and the Flack make me AIBU?

Hope the binbags go.

Desperate attempt to please theredlion...

I think Anton is going.
